There's
no question America is in a dark and dangerous period of history. The
world's banking cartels have had their way for centuries, manipulating,
strangling and raping the wealth of nations with America at the top of
their agenda. For those of us who own gold, we fully understand the importance
of owning it to protect us from the machinations of truly evil men. GATA
(Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee), has been on a relentless crusade for
quite some time to expose the manipulation of gold by the Masters of the
Game. It is only by exposing the evil doers can we hope to prevail in
our fight to free our nation and our people from financial slavery and
bondage.

Few
things get me excited these days because most of the news is bad, although
we are seeing victories. But, when this latest move by GATA came to my
attention, I was ecstatic. Oh, make no mistake and I say this from experience:
the battle will be fierce because I have fought on the FOIA battle ground
on other issues. The federal government will lie and commit fraud protect
their secrets. If you think that's a strong indictment, nothing less is
the truth if you have done the research. This is GATA's new press release:

GATA
Will Demand Truth About U.S. Gold Reserves June 14, 2007

"Constitutional
scholar, writer, and lawyer Edwin Vieira has been retained by the Gold
Anti-Trust Action Committee Inc. to lead an inquiry into the disposition
and possible impairment of United States gold reserves. Dr. Edwin Vieira,
author of the monetary history of the United States, "Pieces of Eight,"
is a graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Law School and a renowned
spokesman for sound money. <>

"Consulting
for GATA, using the federal Freedom of Information Act, and retaining
a Washington-area law firm, Vieira will seek to compel the U.S. government
to disclose records showing how much gold is in the government's custody;
who owns it; whether it has been leased or otherwise made available to
foreign governments or gold market participants; and whether the policies
and practices behind the use of U.S. gold reserves have been meant to
influence the price of gold.

"GATA,
a non-profit civil rights and educational organization founded in 1999,
has published evidence that central banks and government financial agencies,
including the U.S. Treasury Department and Federal Reserve, work together,
usually surreptitiously but sometimes openly, to rig nominally free gold
markets as part of their general program of controlling international
currency exchange rates. That evidence includes the transcript of the
meeting of the Federal Reserve Board's Federal Open Market Committee on
January 31, 1995, which confirmed the U.S. government's participation
in gold swaps, exchanges of gold with other governments so that gold might
be introduced into markets without being easily traced to the originating
government.

"Because
gold is a measure of all currencies, government bonds, and the value of
labor, a free gold market is crucial to the freedom of all markets and,
indeed, to honest dealing and personal liberty throughout the world,"
GATA Chairman William J. Murphy said. "As the nominal holder of the largest
official gold reserves in the world and the issuer of the primary world
reserve currency, the U.S. government has much to answer for here. No
one is more expert in these issues than Ed Vieira, and all GATA wants
is the truth. In a democracy that should not be too much to ask."

"In
addition to hiring a Washington-area law firm, Murphy said, GATA's demand
for the U.S. government to produce information about its gold reserves
probably will lead to litigation under the Freedom of Information Act.
So, he added, "We now will be especially grateful for financial contributions
to underwrite our legal campaign for the truth." <>

"GATA
is recognized as tax-exempt by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and contributions
to it are federally tax-deductible in the United States. Contributions
may be sent to: Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee Inc., c/o Chris Powell,
Secretary/Treasurer, 7 Villa Louisa Road, Manchester, Connecticut 06043-7541
USA"

I have
been privileged to meet Bill Murphy; the folks at GATA are great people.
Their choice in retaining my friend, Dr. Edwin Vieira, to file and fight
this FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) is one smart move. Edwin is a regular
contributor to NWVs, a brilliant writer with a legal mind sharp as a razor.
When I say fight, there's no doubt in my mind the feds will stonewall,
lie, obfuscate and do everything in their power to keep this information
from we the people. However, Edwin Vieira is a very formidable adversary.

Back
in December 2000, I wrote a column titled, "From Riches to Rags
in 34 Days" where I wrote the following: "My good friend, Harvey Gordin,
is a former Wall Street player (29 years). Harvey owns El Dorado Gold
and he keeps me well informed of what's going on in the world of money
and the manipulation of gold. A funny thing has been going on that I discussed
with Harvey: How come during the election cycle, Mr. Gore, all his mouthpieces,
including the boob tube "experts," kept telling America that Billy's administration
brought America the strongest economy in 50 years, yet once Gore conceded,
we have the media and politicians telling everyone Bush is facing a recession
and that it's his greatest challenge? What? In about 34 days the economy
has gone from riches to rags, just like that? What hogwash."

The
truth is that you cannot have a "strong, robust economy" that is based
on debt because debt is not prosperity. A nation's monetary system cannot
and will not survive under a fiat currency such as we've had shoved down
our throats since 1913. This is why so many of us own gold. We know history
has a nasty way of repeating itself. This brings me to a recent column
which just came out titled, It's Official: The Crash of the U.S. Economy
Has Begun by Richard
C. Cook. This column has flooded the Internet. Cook's so called solution
to the monetary crisis facing this country is dangerous. In his column
he states:

"Could
there ever be a real try at reform, maybe even an attempt just to get
back to the New Deal? Since the causes of the crisis are monetary, so
would be the solutions. The first step would be for the Federal Reserve
System to be abolished as a bank of issue and a transformation of the
nation's credit system into a genuine public utility by the federal government.
This way we could rebuild our manufacturing and public infrastructure
and develop an income assurance policy that would benefit everyone."

A return
to FDR's New Deal? Has Mr. Cook never read history? FDR deliberately and
with malice of forethought issued the edict: "We
desire the Japanese to strike first." His New Deal so alarmed many,
two newspapers had the courage to call
it for what it was: Arthur Henning of the Chicago Tribune said,
"The New Deal will bring the Communist Party within striking distance
of overthrow of the American form of government..." Mark Sullivan of the
Buffalo Evening News: "This may be the last presidential election
America will have. The New Deal is to America what the early phase of
Nazism was to Germany..."

How
about this statement Cook makes in the same column: "Times of economic
crisis produce international tension and politicians tend to go to war
rather than face the economic music. The classic example is the worldwide
depression of the 1930s leading to World War II." A worldwide depression
led to WWII? Can he really be that naive? I was appalled when I read that,
even though I had already been to Mr. Cook's site and read one of his
speeches, The
Basic Income Guarantee and Monetary Reform: A Tale of Two Ideas, where
he mentions William Jennings Bryan. William Jenning Bryan, Secretary of
State for the United States, should have been indicted for fraud. On May
31, 1913, he concocted a resolution declaring the Seventeenth Amendment
to the U.S. Constitution as ratified when he knew it clearly was not.
The damage Bryan did has been horrific and he should be soundly condemned.

Cook
goes on to say in this speech: "The election of 1980 was a watershed in
U.S. history. It was a takeover of the policy apparatus of government
by the extreme right-wing. This affected every aspect of American politics
and culture. Those of us who remained in government but still believed
we had a positive role to play in supporting the progressive aspirations
of the American people thereafter kept a low profile..... believe that
today we are finally seeing the pendulum swing back in the direction of
more progressive attitudes as the conservative ideology crashes into ruins.
I believe that today we are finally seeing the pendulum swing back in
the direction of more progressive attitudes as the conservative
ideology crashes into ruins.

"After
a generation of conservative rule, and in spite of three years of a balanced
budget at the end of the Clinton presidency, public finance in the United
States today is in crisis, if not total collapse. A quarter century of
politics devoted to the dismantling of social welfare programs, privatization
of public assets, huge tax cuts for the wealthy, continuing export of
manufacturing jobs, deregulation of the financial industry, and gigantic
expenditures on the war machine have eroded the ability of the federal
government to do anything meaningful about income security."

Pray
tell me how Clinton had a balanced budget when the national debt at the
conclusion of during his term was $5.7 TRILLION dollars? How do you balance
your budget when you're $5.7 TILLION DOLLARS in the hole? This is just
more propaganda. In one of Cook's
columns on solving the monetary problem, he writes: "The remainder
of the total societal gap between production and purchasing power would
be filled by a non-taxable National Dividend of two types. One would be
a cash stipend paid to all citizens which would also serve the purpose
of eliminating poverty by providing everyone with a basic income guarantee."

Tell
me Mr. Cook: Where in the U.S. Constitution, specifically Art. 1, Sec.
8, which gives Congress the power to steal from the people's treasury
to pay a stipend to all citizens for any reason and his convoluted "basic
income guarantee"? The welfare clause? If that's your justification, Mr.
Cook, you are way off base. "Progressive" is another one of those
words used by "liberal Democrats," but in reality, their political ideology
is communism. I submit to you that Cook's ideas are dangerous and should
be discounted. I would also encourage you to read two columns I wrote
to better understand "progressives" and their agenda. It is only by learning
the under pinnings of the evil being thrust upon us can we hope to save
our beloved republic.

"There
is no need, moreover, for Americans to tax their brains to devise some
new, supposedly "ideal" systems of money and banking, because the constitutional
systems the Founders enacted are, both politically and economically, good
ones. As explained above, constitutional money and banking are, for all
intents and purposes, free-market money and banking, with a particular
form of money (silver and gold coins based on the "dollar" as the unit)
fixed for the government."

There
are dozens of columns and news articles coming out everyday on the Internet
about the rise in foreclosures, bankruptcies, lay offs and other indications
of just how bad the economy really is. Of course, the controlled dominant
media also, at the same time, puts out news items about how good the economy
is, retail sales are up, they're down and round and round. I've written
about this coming crisis for years. If you would like to speak with an
expert on owning gold, give Harvey a call at El Dorado Gold; 1.432.264.7869.
Protect your assets because the government won't and you can "take money
to the bank on it." You and your family's future will depend on it.

I hope
you will support GATA's efforts with Dr. Vieira to expose the chicanery
and deceit that has been going on far too long. Please take the time to
read the links below from the real experts on the issue of our monetary
system. I have read each and everyone over time, along with Edwin's historical
tome, Pieces of Eight (Revised). This is how I have learned over the past
18 years. I've had to give up the "good times" because I wanted to know
the truth and I needed to learn about central banks and our monetary system
in order to understand the bigger picture.
